BEERS ON SMALL SALE

Beers on a Small Sale In the last year or two the word microbrewery keeps popping up in Beer and Brewery conversations. But what exactly is this phenomenon?

MICROBREWERIES IN AMERICA

In the early twentieth century, Prohibition drove many breweries in the US into bankruptcy because they could not rely on selling "sacramental wine" as wineries of that era did..

MICROBREWERIES OUTSIDE US

Microbreweries are gradually appearing in other countries (such as New Zealand and Australia) where a similar market concentration exists. .

Bogesund 1788


Beer, Dark lager Alcohol content 4.5%
Producer Imex Premium, Supplier PilsnergubbarnAB
Origin Czech Republic
Available in Sweden since 2005-11-07
The aroma is malty with a rich, lightly toasted empty. A little tangy vinegar tones, diacetyl and a little nuts. A rather mild roasted malty tone also dominate the taste. A little hint of salt / broth / meat. Roasted nuts, a little margarine, cherry. The aftertaste is mild and creamy with notions of barbecued meat, nuts, brown bread and a slightly spicy finish. Carbon dioxide is strong. too strong ... A bit sharp indeed. Small bubbles. The fluid is a little thin.

Bogesund 1520


Beer dark lager Alcohol content 4.5%
Producer Imex Premium, Supplier Pilsnergubbarn AB
Origin Czech Republic
Available in Sweden since 2005-11-07

The colour is dark brownish red. The foam is two fingers high, white and compact. The aroma is sweet and malty with roasted undertones. A little coffee, dark rye bread, a little vanilla, a little bitterness, alcohol and a very dilute idea of the earth.

The first taste is sweet but it fades quickly to a more balanced sweetness and gives room for the heavily roasted malt. Weak flavours of espresso, yeast, margarine and a slowly increasing bitterness. The aftertaste is malty with just a little bit of salt. Mild roasted malt tones, some margarine and a dry bitterness that stays in the background. Carbonation is medium to strong, small bubbles. The liquid is medium-soft in the mouth. Seems like a good Munich Dunkel.
